Pre-Game Talk: Calgary @ Toronto | Friday at 7pm

[Cor]

So with Jimmy Vesey claimed by Vancouver, appears Alex Galchenyuk will get a shot with us now.

Wayne Simmonds also appears poised to return from his injury this weekend.

Jack Campbell is also practicing with the main squad.

Galchenyuk wearing a blue sweater which normally indicates "top 6". Sounds like he'll get a heck of a test, unless he bombs in practice.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

I guess Engvall is going to the 4th line to split duties with Spezza, and then Kerfoot is the center between Mikheyev and Hyman.

 

[MattySnipes]

 

[BTP]

Simmonds and Cambell returning is a godsend at the perfect time.

 

[Gabriel426]

Need the Wayne Train to fire the boys up and Campbell to provide poise in the back.
Leafs need to have a real winning streak and they should start with this Friday.

 

[zeke]

If both Galy and simmonds are in I guess that means Boyd out.

So who moves to 4C? Thornton or Engvall?

 

[MapleLeafs77]

Based on those practice jerseys:

Galchenyuk/Thornton Matthews Marner
Galchenyuk/Thornton Tavares Nylander
Mikheyev Kerfoot Hyman
Engvall Spezza Simmonda

Galchenyuk - Tavares - Nylander ?

Definitely won't be a shutdown line that's for sure.

Wow you are quick.

Well, if the opposing line could not score or generate offence against them, won't that make this a shut down line?????

Galchenyuk - Tavares - Nylander ?

Definitely won't be a shutdown line that's for sure.

Tavares-Nylander I believe have the best defensive numbers of any forward pair on the team.

 

[Gabriel426]

What is Marincin doing there? It should be Rosen.

 

[zeke]

What's kind of amazing about these lines is that this is exactly the lineup dubas/keefe planned on from game 1 of the season.

With Galy simply stepping into the Vesey/Robertson slot they envisioned.

 

[MapleLeafs77]

Thornton and galchenyuk will probably be off those lines soon. Hyman and simmonds will probably replace them.

 

[Menzinger]

The Gally era officially begins

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

I hope we see Wayne Train on Friday.

 

[Rob Brown]

I hope we see Wayne Train on Friday.

Seems like he's in based on the lineups today, no?

 

[Coachcorner]

O

Seems like he's in based on the lineups today, no?

Of couse he is sire. You already knew. Him bringing back that thug shit....... mayne we love that wayne train no. He the hardest out there for us. Others is afraid of him, some players don't dare to stare at him.

Koshan has Engvall in the C spot on L4
